(...) Hmm, yeah I'm a bit disappointed in how it doesn't let you group events so they show up in the same place horizontally. So, if we want to use this in its current state, we'd have to drop the version dates which isn't good. I hope the group (...) (16 years ago, 20-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

This was the best I could come up with: (URL) I created one big event for LDView spanning from its original release until Dec 31 2010, and then created a point event for each release. --Travis (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
